How to speak, civil rights edition

The video below is running on television exclusively on the FOX News Channel, where I saw it for the first time last night. It is episode 7 in the National Rifle Association’s Freedom’s Safest Place campaign.

Who is the gentleman speaking? What is he doing now? I called the NRA this morning and asked for anything they would tell me about him, but was advised that the NRA does not provide any additional information as a matter of policy.

I believe the ad dates from last year. Bill Jacobson took note of it at Legal Insurrection here and posted it along with the transcript. I just wanted to bring it to the attention of interested readers who may have missed it or who saw it and had the same questions I did.
